Complaints have been made this
season OF the failure OF railroads to
furnish an adequate supply OF cars to
rush the great wheat crop to market,
as quickly as farmers and dealers de-
sired, and the railroads, also, for that
matter. The Duluth News, explains
this apparent s'car famine which is
not uncommon in other sections,

Results Of the Dakota Election.

1886 for delegate "a ,S99 votes. Reckoning
that one-haH the vote was polled in the
ten southern, counties and one-third tho
vote in the sixteen northern counties, and
we have 1O.292 votes as the probable
vote on the division question to be add
ed to the above figures. Tho northern
counties being largely opposed TO d.
vision, it is safe to estimate that the
official canvass will show that If
these twenty-six counties cast 1922
votes, as least 5.2o2 will be against
division and 5000 for division. This will
make the total vote on division in the ter
ritory. in round figures $4,000 and the
majority for division 5000. In 1856
there were lO4, S12 votes cast for delegate.
The increase in the voting population since
the fall OF 1886 can be safely reckoned at
2O.OOO- So the combined interest in the
two issues OF prohibition and division
brought out less than half a vote.

having his attention drawn to Michael

criticise or approve the management of the
plan OF the campaign. was not consulted
at its initiation, and have since been un-
able, owing to the state OF my health, to
take any part in active politics outside Of
parliament. Those who are on the spot
and actively engaged are the best judges OF
what their own honor and interests of the
country require: MIR. Dayitt is in a differ
ent position. His opinion is entitled to re-
spect. coming rom one who is in Ireland, and
who is q man OF singular remarkable cour-
age who never shrank from the conse.
qnences OF his words or acts. But do not
gather that Mr.. Davltt did criticise the

sive that things might be misunderstood
in America. In my Judgment more lee
BILE or inert governgment never held 1eins in
Ireland. They are teaching Irishmen a
most disastrDus lesson by their bungling
incapacity, teaching that the law may be
successfully .defed. For the law, as recent
" constructed by the Unionist majority
in the house of commons, is daily defed,
and with impunity, by thousands
OF members OF suppressed branches
OF the league and by every Nationalist
newspaper editor in Ireland. In fact, ono
OF the extraordinary results of the coer-
cion act and "a firm ard resolute govern
ment" is that for every offence against the
law committed before the passage of the
coercion bill hundreds are committed now.
Ileava it for you to say whether Ireland s
